Welcome to the E-Museum of Ancient Fruits
Join our journey through history, inclusion and social farming
A Social Farming Project
The E-Museum of Ancient Fruit comes to life thanks to the Tuttincampo project, supported by the Marche Region. This initiative brings together many different organizations with a common goal. These organizations are:
- Si.Gi. Agricultural Company
- Anffas Macerata
- Il Faro Cooperative
- Coldiretti Marche
- University of Macerata
The aim is to create a new model for social inclusion in farming. This project has provided five young people with cognitive impairments, aged 20 to 25, with a great opportunity to grow up and gain independence.
Si.Gi. as a Training for Life
Si.Gi. as a Social Working Environment
Si.Gi. as Therapy and Well-being
All this in a single agricultural business?
Yes. Not all of them will work in agriculture, but each of them has discovered something fundamental, such as:
The desire to work Gratification for what they do Responsibility of taking care
A Grassroots Project
Everything started from a simple request by some of these young people, supported by Anffas Macerata, during their visit to our farm,
“Can we help you with the harvest?”
We couldn’t but grant their wish. Thanks to Coldiretti Marche, we found a way to turn their will into a real possibility.
This project focuses not only on work inclusion, but also on raising awareness It satisfies our need to do some good.
A Lively Museum Providing a Natural and Digital Experience
From this experience came the first experiment in social tourism, combining the natural and digital worlds.
We invite you to visit our museum, both in person and online!
The E-Museum of Ancient Fruits is not just a virtual archive. Here you can find stories, inclusion and life.
